Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

I am a diver so I didn’t spend much time in the accommodation, basically just the night them. The location is right on the beach, the yard is facing the beach. Anytime you want to enter the beach, you can do that. The yard is cute, green grass and beach chairs. The host are very helpful making breakfast for me everyday. I need to dive very early in the morning and I would need that breakfast probably earlier than other guest and it wasn’t a problem.

NetherlandsOverall area could be a bit more cleaned up. The room for my dad don’t even have a window and it was tucked inside of a dining room and kitchen. Almost felt like it we had to walk through someone’s home to get to the room. The staff also seemed to be living in that space or at least it felt that way as there was a back living space where they were hanging out. Also they could use a better breakfast option as it was not good.
That it had a private beach area

NetherlandsVery beautiful location, we liked Dutch Bay beach, it’s a bit more quiet and there are still some nice places to eat around. The hotel is right on the beach front, with a little private garden and sun beds. Our hostess Dilu made us feel very much at home. The room was comfortable and good value for money.

Far from the touristic part of Trincomalee, but located on private beautiful and clean beach. They provide beach chairs and umbrella for their guests. Big room with A/C and shower with hot water, which was something not common for this place of Sri Lanka.

United KingdomNot much, but subject to what you want, the best beach and modern facilities is 4 miles up the coast in Uppuveli. Locally, there really isn't much to shout about, but this is unrelated to the property.
This was literally a last minute booking, after we walked out of the Maya Resort hotel without checking in, because it was overpriced and truly awful. The location is on the beach and the room was very spacious. The breakfast was delicious and one of the best we ate.

NorwayIf you’re looking to stay in the more touristic area of trincomalee with more shops and restaurants, it’s about a 15 min drive from the hotel.
Loved the location, right by a beautiful beach with almost no people. The hotel has their own sunbeds and umbrellas, which was amazing. Perfect if you’re looking for a less touristic place to stay. Dilu was amazing, she made us breakfast, did our laundry and was always there to help. Nice room with good air conditioning.

United KingdomNothing, everything was perfect 👌
Dutch villa is located in a quiet part of Trincomalee with basically the whole of Dutch Bay beach at your disposal. The room was very spacious with a large double bed. The room had A/C which worked perfectly along with the ceiling fan. Walking out onto the balcony provided an amazing seaside vista to watch the sunrise. Dilw, our host was amazing, always available to answer any queries that we had, provided us with clean towels and prepared breakfast for us every morning which she would bring up to your room. Due to the heat, we opted to eat in the kitchen as Dilw prepared the food, always great to chat with the host and share stories. Dutch Villa is great, ideally positioned and has an amazing host in Dilw. 👌🙏🙏

United KingdomWe had an amazing stay at Dutch Villa Trinco! The location is great —right on the beach, straight onto golden sands and the ocean. This place is located only a short walk from the town center, walkable distance to key tourist attractions being the temples, the bus and train stations along with a number of restaurants. It is also right next to the Dutch Bay public beach, full of locals and familes enjoying their evenings in Trinco. Also they organise a lot from the accommodation itself including boat trips to see dolphins, whales and pigeon island so there is no need to pre-book and pricing is very reasonable. The room was inviting and comfortable, with air conditioning and hot water that worked perfectly. The tranquil atmosphere and breathtaking beach view made for a wonderfully relaxing experience. It’s the perfect place to unwind and soak in the natural beauty of Trincomalee. Kroos and Dilu, the hosts, really looked after us. My wife wasn't feeling well so Dilu walked us down to a local doctor and regularly checked in to see how she was doing. Kroos helped organise our transportation for our next location and made sure we were paying the right prices. They also picked up coconuts for us to drink while doing their own shopping during the day which was really nice. They, along with their family members run this accommodation so as you can imagine, it gets really busy so the fact they can go above and beyond, is just incredible. Trincomalee is developing for tourism. This part of the area in particular is in the early stages but if you're looking for a stay which also supports the locals, really do recommend this place. The price for a room is also incredible for everything you're getting!
